Paper Explosion

Day 4 – Emboss Resist with a Twist

Heat guns. Embossing powder. Background stamps. Layering stencils. Watercolors. This was a bit of a messy day for my craft area!

Day 3 – 2 for 1 Inked Backgrounds

Today’s techniques included using a gel press to make backgrounds, and playing with stencils. My gel press backgrounds are pretty lackluster, but it’s always fun to pull it out and play with it. Stencils, however, were a blast. I don’t use them that often, and I honestly don’t know why. I always have a blast […]

Day 2 – Joseph’s Coat

I love the card I created using this technique! We inked a background, then put a stencil over it and used black ink through the stencil. I chose a mid-century modern stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

Day 1 – Ink Lifting

Today’s technique for the Spring Card Camp is Ink Lifting. Here are the cards I created.

Online Card Classes: Spring Card Camp 2022

I signed up for the Spring Card Camp 2022 at Online Card Classes. It’s two weeks full of different cardmaking techniques. I’m looking forward to the challenge of doing things I don’t normally consider. Hopefully I don’t get discouraged or frustrated, as it is supposed to be fun!

Llama Birthday

Today’s card is a simple one, with a cute little llama from Lawn Fawn. I used gingham paper, also from Lawn Fawn, layered together. The happy scripty die cut was placed across the top. The circle die is from Spellbinders, and the flag die is from Art Impressions.

Pop-Up Platform

The pop-up platform die from Lawn Fawn is so much fun. I used the Gotta Have Gingham petite paper pack, and the platform pop-up add-on. The tiny characters fit in perfectly.

Sunshine

I am obsessed with this Retro Swirls die from Erin Lee Creative. Paired with holographic paper, it makes an absolutely groovy card. The sunshine die and sentiments are from SugarPea Designs. Have a sunshine day………

Playing With Alcohol Ink

Last month, I sat on my patio in the sun playing with alcohol inks. One of the things I did was try to make rose shapes with the ink. I had varying degrees of success. I also just dropped random colors onto the Yupo paper and let it mix however it wanted. Here are a […]

I Didn’t Planet That Way

Everyone misses recognizing a birthday every once in awhile. Lawn Fawn has a stamp and die set just for that occasion that is out of this world! The background paper is Galaxy from The Rabbit Hole Designs.
